Proserpine, Queensland, Australia is famous for its gold mining past and while mining may have diminished, it is still capable of producing natural treasures. A small fledgling family run business, S.K.Colling and Co, produces custom razors in Proserpine. Steve Colling has been straight shaving for 20 years and along the way has been restoring and recently manufacturing them.
Steve offers a range of razors ready to buy as well as customs. Some appealing features of his range are exotic inserts on the tang (Mother of pearl, Mammoth), scale materials (wood, acrylic, carbon fibre, G10), various points, spine work, and blade etching. The steel used is the same as that used by Ralf Aust.
The turnaround time for his custom SR's is stunning. Having given the specifications, the razor can be dispatched in under 7 days! I have read about communication issues dealing with custom manufacturers but not in this case. Steve was easy to communicate with and can send update images of the razor as it is made.
The cost of Proserpine Razor Co's straight razors will soon be increasing as he will be exporting some of his stock SR's overseas to a few of the better respected retail outlets in the US and UK.
